RE: Or... It's the high quality Chinese transformers

Posted by Triode_Kingdom on April 15, 2017 at 15:11:11:
You haven't measured a transformer deficiency like that because Western companies can't/won't sell such low quality for hi-fi use.

"At HF, usually transformers got more efficient"

The high end is limited by factors that don't affect the bottom. Cheap winding techniques and high-hysteresis cores being two. Sorry, but the idea that a Chinese amplifier is high-end because all the components except the chassis and transformers have been purchased from the West (if that's even true in the land of counterfeits) is really laughable.
